Clarksville Now Player of the Year, among other awards

Player of the Year- Kenzie White, Clarksville High- One of the best hitters in the nation, ranked 20th nationally for home runs, there was simply no stopping number nine as she stepped to the plate. The all-new single-season home run leader at Clarksville High, with two more seasons to break her own records, White posted a .632 batting average, 79 hits, 16 doubles, 11 triples, 20 home runs, scored 71 runs, batted in 41 runs, and stole 26 bases.

Pitcher of the Year- Maddie White, Clarksville High- White was near untouchable as a pitcher, striking out 247 of the 486 she faced, which meant if you stepped to the plate against white, there were better odds than a coin flip you were striking out. White also earned a 1.56 ERA for the season.

Freshman of the Year- Mattie Hathcock, Montgomery Central- Hathcock never looked like a freshman at the plate, collecting 46 hits on a .451 batting average, and knocking in 27 runs for the Indians, leading them to a regular-season district title and a district tournament runner-up finish.

Coach of the Year – Travis Cocke, Clarksville Christian – Cocke led the Centurions through a tough schedule, often playing schools with much larger enrollments or rosters, or both, and still found a way to compete and often win. The Centurions’ 20-win season led them all the way to another state title game, finishing as TSIAA state runners-up for the second straight season.

Team of the Year- Clarksville Wildcats- While it doesn’t feel like it, it has been since 2022 that Clarksville High won a district title before this spring. This Wildcat crew changed that, earning CHS a gold plaque to hang in the halls and qualifying for regionals for the first time in four years. The best part is they did it all with a team with no seniors, and will bring this crew back for another run at a title this spring.
